Brock Noland commented on FLUME-984:
------------------------------------
Longterm I wonder if we should a service fail N times we close and it restart.
I don't feel we have the items in place today to do this. The SinkRunner could
instead of being passed a sink, be passed a Supplier<Sink> for example.
> SinkRunner should catch unhanded exceptions and log them like
> PollingSourceRunner
